DARK FOREST Signs With IRON KODEX

July 16, 2009

England's DARK FOREST has inked a deal with Iron Kodex for the worldwide release of the band's new EP, "Defender", and as-yet-untitled second album.

Formed in 2002 in the West Midlands, DARK FOREST "combin[es] the great legacy of classic NWOBHM acts like TYRANT, ELIXIR, MAIDEN or TREDEGAR with the pounding glory of epic metal bands like ISEN TORR and the beautiful mythic harmonies of Anglo-Saxon folk music," according to a press release. "DARK FOREST deliver an absolutely unique brand of classic, no-bollocks heavy metal. Galloping rhythms, insanely beautiful twin guitar harmonies and unbelievable vocal lines — everything British metal was famous and loved for in the early '80s is there."

"Defender" will be released in the fall and will be followed by and DARK FOREST's second album in 2010.

The band will perform at the Hammer of Doom festival on October 17 in Würzburg, Germany (alongside PAGAN ALTAR, ATLANTEAN KODEX and THE LAMP OF THOTH, among others).
